I remember when I was in Coxsackie , and the Co's used to talk about Mike being up in the Catskills training, since we were in Greene County, and we got to see him beat Trevor Berbick for the Title when he was 20. Back then ESPN has most of his fights we could watch him working up the ranks , he used to fight like once a month, where like nowadays you'd be lucky to see your favorite fighter go at it once a year. I loved his Peek a Boo style that Cus ingrained in his psyche, like Floyd Patterson,and Jose Torres, only Mike PERFECTED IT. I loved the Team that was built around Mike so sad when Cus passed , Jacobs passed, rooney was pushed out by Don King ,and the rest was History.

To this day I have to say that feeling of something special,,, a once in a lifetime fighter does not exist today. I do not care about anything he did outside of the ring because he is human.

R.I.P. Cus D' Amato, I've watched all of Mike Tyson's fights, Including the 3 part, before & after fighting Mike comments, his opponent's said some interesting and some BS replies, Eddie Richardson was asked after being KOd if he had ever been beaten as hard as Tyson beat him, and his reply was "Yes, about a year ago, I was hit by a truck" The opponent for whom I have the greatest respect for, not making up excuses and telling the truth was Lorenzo Boyd, when asked by Larry Merchant if Tyson could beat anyone in heavyweight boxing right now, Lorenzo said "Yes, He'll Go All The Way" And when Tyson fought Pinklon Thomas, I've never seen a man take as many brutal punches to the face and head as he did, and Tyson said "I hit him with everything I had, and didn't care if he died" of course he changed that later down the road. Thanks S.V. Great Channel. 👍 🇺🇸

Kevin Rooney trained Mike to fight the way HE (Kevin Rooney) fought! Watch the Kevin Rooney V. Alexis Arguello fight, and see if the fighting styles aren't EERILY similar. Even the the way Rooney gets KO'd, the combination he ate, looks like the same combination that Mike lost on to Lennox Lewis. Check it out. Mike Tyson is my FAVORITE ATHLETE OF ALL TIME, but Cus D'amato's death left Mike in the hands of a trainer who tried to clone himself in a Heavyweight. He basically kept the "philosophy" of Cus intact, but adjusted the method.

If Tyson stayed training under Kevin Rooney and stayed away from Don King then he would be a top three heavyweight champion under Ali, Louis and Holmes. Don King, sniffing Cocaine, too much money, partying and being with the wrong crowd killed his passion for boxing and his career. Mike's true prime lasted until 1988 with his Michael Spinks fight with trainer Kevin Rooney. He was good when he fought Ruddock and other guys in the 1990s. But by then he was no longer moving his head, throwing combinations and looking for one big punch. His passion was never the same once Rooney left.

I think once he reached the goals and the fame n fortune that was the statt of the end for Tyson , he must be so hard to sustain yourself at that level for any athlete the constant effort to motivate yourself has to take affect once your goals ate teached and the constant discipline , especially under Mikes circumstances. You can see the steady decline in skill as he becomes less and less interested . I think the start was definitely when Cus died thats when the influence of what Mike bevame was lost , thats when the fire started to go out . But hey everything happens for a reason and nothing lasts forever on this earth

Como cuando y como es la clave, no sólo la técnica
tyson would have been the greatest if cus was still alive and kept him disciplined. better then ali by miles, the footwork, speed, agility, power, head movement NO OTHER BOXER in history moved like tyson at his peak and prime. anyone who just says ali are just casuals who just go with the trendy media.
Imagine beeing 14 years old, fighting and dominating a bigger 25 years old semi-pro boxer. That's insane
imagine saying dominating and sparring, imagine that.
@@RosvStudiosif you box you know sparring is harder than the real fight. No ref to save you and you both can hit as hard as you want basically do anything you want and no one will save you. This is my own experience boxing. Step into a gym and you'll learn the hard way. Alot of undefeated fighters because the guys they fight don't take spar serious.
@@sky-oq5mrI spar in kickboxing. The problem I have is with people who are going hard and they are beginners. I literally remember when I first started and idiots were throwing bombs at me which didn't do shit for me because I was forgetting my technique all the time. Now I throw bombs only when someone throw bombs, otherwise I spar lightly because I don't want to have fried brain from all the hard sparring.
@@RosvStudios bruh, you have to adapt fast. In a real fight they don't care if you are a beginner or not. I got the same treatment and now after 2 years I compete the the best in the gym easily. Technique did go out the window and it will in a real fight as well just as easy unless you deal with that scenario enough to where you don't panic. Look at fighters today. They get stunned once and it's over because of that light sparring. Even Spence he gets stunned and turns away, fight hard.
@@sky-oq5mr Sparring is not a real fight, get it straight. Amazing, you compete in a gym. A fighter should go only hard spar when they compete and they have technique down, otherwise you are getting your ass beat and you ain't learning shit. I don't know what you are talking about with fighters being stunned, lol. Hard sparrings should be down but in low doses by pro / amateurs fighters. if you want to go the CTE route like a lot of boxers like to go to, then go ahead.
Much respect to the sparring partners. Some may still be injured.

The way Tyson carries himself in the ring displaying that speed and power is why he was such a dangerous boxer. Not even your best defense couldn't hold a man like that back from hurting you.
Cose he moved,jumped and bounced like a freaking animal,he is not a man he is a panther/gorilla XD
Hi, I'm Bustaya Azz DougDugDougeyless
How about Evander Holyfields defense?
@@gianpalacio5635 What about him headbutting?
@@gianpalacio5635 holyfields defence was to hold mike everytime they got close and tied tyson up so he couldnt in-fight! (rd 5 holyfield forgot to clinch tyson in close and paid for it with vicious body shot and uppercuts!).....not to mention the repetitive intentional head butts and PED abuse!....Holyfield was always a dirty fighter! But a GREAT "dirty" fighter! Holyfield use to train on a heavybag with a tire around it @ head height, which is how he got so good @ using his head while making the butts look accidental!
💯These TYSON 👊🏾Spars 👊🏾Are More Aggressive Than Today’s Current Heavyweight Bouts 💯
80 90s never coming back
@@rafaelmartinmeuldijk6030 Hopefully it does soon. The lighter weight classes are still very good.
I remember when I was in Coxsackie , and the Co's used to talk about Mike being up in the Catskills training, since we were in Greene County, and we got to see him beat Trevor Berbick for the Title when he was 20. Back then ESPN has most of his fights we could watch him working up the ranks , he used to fight like once a month, where like nowadays you'd be lucky to see your favorite fighter go at it once a year. I loved his Peek a Boo style that Cus ingrained in his psyche, like Floyd Patterson,and Jose Torres, only Mike PERFECTED IT. I loved the Team that was built around Mike so sad when Cus passed , Jacobs passed, rooney was pushed out by Don King ,and the rest was History.
Well said
Respect to these men for taking on a monster.
Back then, Mike didn't see a difference in "big" or "small", he only saw lunchmeat.
Sparing is so important it really prepares you for a real fight you can hit the bag and pads all day but they don't hit back
I sparred with my grandma but she didnt hit back for some reason
brick not hit back

We never got to see the best mike Tyson. He was still improving with Rooney and he hadn't peaked yet in his skills. All the progress stopped when Rooney got fired. Just imagine what he could have been
I and many believe that 1987-88 ( especially the fight with Spinks) was Tyson’s peak
Interesting thoughts
@@williamljonesjr6695Mike's best was during his run with Kevin, from 85 to 88. After that it was downhill.
@@inquebravel1570 yes that’s correct but we are talking about his absolute peak was 1987-88
Growing up with a Father who was a boxing promoter in the late 70's thru 2000 I remember most that when Tyson was only 18 he was the talk because NOBODY alive that could stop this Dynamic kid who had a style that seemed beatable when he stood in front of a guy with both hands at his chin. seemed amateurish ,,,,,, but then hell broke loose and it was time to call the EMT. To this day I have to say that feeling of something special,,, a once in a lifetime fighter does not exist today. I do not care about anything he did outside of the ring because he is human. In the ring for a long time he truly was SUPERMAN !
Brother can you share anything else I'm the 90s I love Mike and fighting too anything I can learn from you
He believed he was the Best that’s why he was and became the best. It’s part mental and part physical. He was great wasn’t he!

He stopped jabbing too.

@@hans3216 no he was not, Rooney was fired prior to spinks fight If I remember correctly

They wouldn't come against you until you 💯 had problems 💯
R.I.P. Cus D' Amato, I've watched all of Mike Tyson's fights, Including the 3 part, before & after fighting Mike comments, his opponent's said some interesting and some BS replies, Eddie Richardson was asked after being KOd if he had ever been beaten as hard as Tyson beat him, and his reply was "Yes, about a year ago, I was hit by a truck" The opponent for whom I have the greatest respect for, not making up excuses and telling the truth was Lorenzo Boyd, when asked by Larry Merchant if Tyson could beat anyone in heavyweight boxing right now, Lorenzo said "Yes, He'll Go All The Way" And when Tyson fought Pinklon Thomas, I've never seen a man take as many brutal punches to the face and head as he did, and Tyson said "I hit him with everything I had, and didn't care if he died" of course he changed that later down the road. Thanks S.V. Great Channel. 👍 🇺🇸
Kevin Rooney trained Mike to fight the way HE (Kevin Rooney) fought! Watch the Kevin Rooney V. Alexis Arguello fight, and see if the fighting styles aren't EERILY similar. Even the the way Rooney gets KO'd, the combination he ate, looks like the same combination that Mike lost on to Lennox Lewis. Check it out. Mike Tyson is my FAVORITE ATHLETE OF ALL TIME, but Cus D'amato's death left Mike in the hands of a trainer who tried to clone himself in a Heavyweight. He basically kept the "philosophy" of Cus intact, but adjusted the method.
Never beat anyone except an old, rusty Holmes and a terrified Spinks and if you tried to actually win he fell apart, even Tillis was within a round of getting a draw. Holyfield and Lewis faced and beat far better competition and achieved far more their whole careers.
Youngest ever champion an unified the belts this guy earned his rep he was fantastic in his prime an the most exciting boxer around . Lewis Holyfield didn’t have the impact or iconic status in boxing to this day .
@red flag They may not of had the charisma but they achieved far more, fact. I'm wondering if you were around in the mid 80s because he was enormously hyped and his style was very exciting but he was one dimensional and never had a plan B, never showed he could come through adversity, got spooked when an opponent wasn't and had a very short prime. I'm a Tyson fan and even spent 2 months with Rooney in the Catskills in 92 but . . . . .
@@bigdaddy4069 ye I was around an imo he was fantastic an the division was a high standard
Iron Mike was tough as hell for being so small as a heavyweight. Kinda reminds me of rocky Marciano the way he dips to inside throwing combos
9:50 😅
People always obsess over these 'mike tyson combos' invariably involving upper cuts, hook... 90% of what he effectively did was with a hard jab from a few different angles.
Post prison he just completely abandoned his jab almost like he forgot how to throw it and his head movement started to slack which was probably attributed to softer camps and less conditioning after Rooney
also the peek a boo style was so scarce at the time that none of the other camps really know how to sharpen or enhance Mike's style.
@@wasabi5338plus he was just so muscle bound and it made him tire quick
100% agree
He fired the last Trainer Connected to Cus in 1989(Kevin Rooney), after that he started digressing. Kevin Rooney kept Mike disciplined and wasn't a "Yes Man". After 1989, Mike surrounded himself with "Yes Men", who never told him No you shouldn't do that Mike you have a fight coming up.
This is an amazing video! So many clips I’ve never seen before, and I would’ve swore that I’ve seen everything out there from Mike. Thank you!
Excellent video. Thanks for making this! It's fitting that Mike is such a historian of boxing, studying the greats, and now he joins them, there for us to study along with the best of all time. In my opinion Iron Mike is at the top of that list.
Mr Gus loved Mr Tyson he saw the greatness in little Mike an unlocked it may God bless Mr Gus in heaven an Mike here on earth he's had a hard journey I'm older but always admired you Mr Mike. Carry on
You put that really nicely.
One week ago i had a sparring match against someone 70lbs bigger than me who fought serious with hard punches,i was lucky enough to block most critical punches but even then they shooked me,cant imagine going into the ring with someone like mike who is 10 times worse,he would kill me

What's crazy is mike didn't wear headgear but his sparring partners always did😂😂
headgears give a false sense of security, my coach said if you have an upcoming fight wearing a headgear is not recommended.
@@Rexxar582 you must be young , I've been boxing since I was 12 ,I'm 50 now.and still train twice a week...head gear is used to protect your head and face from damage. If your smart , you will protect yourself f what your coach said...,cus was the only trainer doing that
@@nothaviniteither yeah i've only been boxing for several months now. as for me it depends on who my opponent is, if its someone I know who has power in their hands, i'd wear a headgear lol. but for the most part i prefer sparring without headgear. But yeah in Mike's case its crazy, he was only 14 then and his opponent was 25.
@@Rexxar582 cus didn't want mike to wear headgear because he wanted him to know what real heavyweight power felt like...we are not mike and our trainers are not cus...so f that protect yourself at ALL times ie wear your headgear ..
He wears headgear in at least some of the clips here. It doesn’t prevent brain damage either. Just cuts.
Old tyson clips are like a "How it's Made" episode of making an elite pounding machine.
listening to his trainer i kind of understand where tyson's voice came from.
I'm 45 and grew up watching Tyson. a lot of fighters, we watch and see as they get older, if they last, you can see them all lose something. That thing that Tyson had, he still hasn't lost it, I don't believe he ever will. he's still fukin great .
dude, your video is on top! this is godamn great, man
What a treat to watch! Thank you for making these videos. Mike Tyson was great in the ring, because he was great in the gym: to be great in the ring, you must be first great in the gym.
He was Not much in the Gym when He was Not great. He was partying
@@primesuspect8198 not in the early to late 80s he wasnt!...you thinking of post rooney tyson...ala don king managed tyson high as kite on coke and partying
@@stavros693000 Exactly. The younger fans often get Tysons life and career timelines completely mixed up. They don’t realise Tyson was like 3 different people with 3 different career paths and agendas over the course of 20 something years.
If Tyson stayed training under Kevin Rooney and stayed away from Don King then he would be a top three heavyweight champion under Ali, Louis and Holmes. Don King, sniffing Cocaine, too much money, partying and being with the wrong crowd killed his passion for boxing and his career. Mike's true prime lasted until 1988 with his Michael Spinks fight with trainer Kevin Rooney. He was good when he fought Ruddock and other guys in the 1990s. But by then he was no longer moving his head, throwing combinations and looking for one big punch. His passion was never the same once Rooney left.
Don't forget his first wife had a hand in his demise.
Holmes? He above holmes
18 months after firing team Rooney , Mike suffered his 1st loss.
this is excellent rare footage
I been training and sparring and the amount of energy it takes to move that fast at heavyweight is crazy. He was bad man one of a kind no duplicates
With all the muscle he used to carry & still move as fast as he did possessing the craziest knockout power he was just insane
@@ikhlas8135 I agree. You fight like you train he went all out in every drill, every minute on the bag, in sparring he never did nothing low intensity. All his clips he goes all out. A bad man. None of these heavyweights these days are like the old ones.💯
He lost to EVERY BIG CHAMPION. Wind up your bullshit...
Awesome!!! 25 minutes of constant bombardments from Iron Mike!!!! Thank you!
Amateur Mike not iron mike
@@shobhitgodara4682 what?
Mike went up against taller, heavier guys. He was just as scared as you. He was only 5’10 fighting heavyweights.
Masterpiece ever. Great
Thank you very much for these great videos of Tyson really thank you wish you millions of subscribers. See you soon for more videos I hope we all Peek a boo style Tyson fans.🙏🏻❤️
what a great video. thanks so much.
Don't you love the way boxers usually secretly have respect for each other, if your good
Tyson just hit way to hard in his days🔥 got dam that man threw lethal punches💯
Just a bigger target for Mike! He'd chop them down like trees.
Tyson was only 18 or 19 here what a beast every punch he threw he wanted to take your head of look at his movement always moving his head from side to side and ducking down avoiding anything that was coming his way this is a time when he had Gus
No hype no music in the gym. This is a true blue good ol self motivated discipline! Humanity's hardness gets softer with time, unless WW3 or some global plague hits us again which is unlikely, at least not to the degree of back then.. so its sad we will never see true warriors again! The irony is ppl need to watch this kinda video to be motivated and thats already soft.
Great footage

I love you Mike Tyson your the greatest
Those rapid-fire body shots are nasty. Let one of them catch you in between breaths.
You sparring with Mike, you had a big heart, for sure.. The most powerful punches in history, this Mike had for sure 🥊🥊🥊
or super broke, behind on alimony.
Nope, Rocky Marciano punched the hardest in history!!!!
Questa sì che era box grande 👍💪
Not enough attention and respect is given to Cus. He made world champions, he was all about the mental aspects of a man and the war within yourself to push yourself. "Cus believe a fighter must train often and hard" you could say that about any endeavor. IF cuz was alive today half the world would be trying to get him on ted tlks and pod casts and the man would have none of it. He had no interest in foolish things, attention, only being your best at whatever it is you want in your life.
Love Mike, best boxer
Back when well known people said complimentary things about each other.
Great video
can you include the tape of kevin rooney and mike on the pads in tokyo 88’ in another video? cant find it
Mike Tyson would have easily retired undefeated hadn’t he let his mind/inner demons get the best of him.
Can you please load the heavy bag video from mike back up or make a new please ❤
Man!!! If cus was 10 more year with Mike, he would have been THE GOAT!!!! Don't get me wrong, he is still one of the greatest but with cus, he would have reached levels that no other boxer would have achieved.
I'm sure boxers of today do not have this kind of experience guaranteed
Just watching him shadow box is very motivational
"SPARRING" .... thats a legit fight. damn, those guys had no idea who this kid was going to be.
After rooney he stopped moving his head didn't use angles an foot work to position his opponent where he wanted them after rooney he would kinda just walk forward at you take a couple hits in the face an then try to throw a heavy punch cuz he know all he had to do was connect with one clean shot an it was lights out
His jab is so underrated
The sign of a true boxing casual is when they point out the limited talent available during the era Tyson fought in, or how Tyson wilted whenever he faced tougher opponents. They never acknowledge his freak work ethic and what that would have carried him to if Cus had been 20 years younger and Rooney had remained his trainer. It seems crazy to think he wouldn't have gone down as the greatest boxer of all time.

A kid obsessed with Tate and smashing his underdeveloped head on boxing gloves oh boy. this won’t end well lmao. Let me tell you something. I went through a similar phase like you (12-16) I sparred hard everyday and had five amateur bouts. And just with that I already have some CTE. I got a stutter, my thinking speed has slowed down too. I only joined boxing I wanted to become the best fighter at my school lol. In the end I got that but it meant nothinf With this CTE, I can’t run a gang, I can’t roast people, I can’t talk shit, I can’t talk to girls, I can barely crack jokes anymore.
